So a few things about this poem that need mentioning. It has the purpose of not rhyming, as it is more of a meditation prayer than a rhyming poem. I usually try not to rhyme my poems, and with this one, it called for atypical penmanship. I apologize in advance for the possible grammatical errors or atypical nature of the prayer-poem, but I feel the beauty outweights any grammatical plights I have done by accident.
So I was listening to a really pretty song for inspiration and this came to me. I began to type word after word and this was the end result. Hope you all enjoy what is written:
Our hearts of The Heart
Our spirits of The Spirit
Our love of The Love
In all of these You are Him
Your names run infinitely many
Divine Creator and Paschal Mystery
Son of God and Most Blessed Sacrament
You are all Names and all Names are You
You washed the Earth clean with the Great Flood
You brought justice upon the Twin Cities of Sin
You freed Your People from tyranny and oppression
You showed Your Glorious Mercy
You arrived in perfect Humility as a child
You fulfilled the Law of the Old Covenant
You parted the veil in the Temple for us
You showed Your Perfection
The beauty of You shows throughout the World
We must find You in ways You reveal to us
Only give us the opportunity to See and Hear
And we will Know and Understand
The sight we have is a lamp never to be extinguished
The sound we hear is a drum that never stops its beat
The heart we have will flow with love for You always
We contain the flame of the soul that will never die
If we only knew what You showed us
If we only knew what You revealed
If we only knew what You gave up for us
We would never doubt and never fault
You give us gifts we should never take for granted
Gifts that are of a Divine Artist
Ones that could paint a canvas with colors of beauty
The painting would never fade or cease
Let us only know what You want us to know
We should trust in You completely with ease
Only our gaze should be focused on You
Help us to see You more and more
How do we doubt You in what we already Know
We are but a lost people, lost in the illusions of vanity
We are lost in stubbornness and anger and vices
Find us wanting and needing Your Comfort
The song shall never end in our souls
It plays on and on, the continuous melody
The notes are hit on every string, on every key
Our rhythm shall never die
Therefore, we ask You as sons and daughters of You
Children who seek the comfort of The Heavenly Family
We ask to be found, to know your Loving Arms hold us
We ask for forgiveness through Christ the Son of God
